Bubba Chinos downtown has closed for "remodeling"

The Bubba Chinos that opened downtown last year is currently closed, reportedly for "remodeling." Leonard Cordova, a grandson of Stella Cordova, founder of the original Chubby's , started the homegrown Bubba Chinos chain; this location at 1361 Court Place was a franchise.

"We're excited to cater to the downtown crowd. There aren't many lunch options over here," franchise owner Kenneth Gomez told us last year, before the location opened in June. Now it's closed, but a sign on the door promises the place will reopen within the next ten days.
